I was saying to me its more rational to think there is the possibility of a something outside of my thoughts that is more intelligent.

How to destroy the validity of your own mind.
by Terry inthe standard of what is true is what is real.. truth=reality.

can you prove your own existence and that you are not the thoughts of some other intelligent being? Maybe i'm wrong but i don't think you can.
You could be imagining you have you own thoughts and you don't.
If you can't prove that. You can't prove anything and you understand less.

Satanus ,
I dont think you can examine your thought process without using your thought process which in turn may be fatally flawed.
As I cannot step out of my thought process.
To think that there maybe a higher being who knows more than me and is outside of my thought process surely is rational thinking.
If not what am I left with what my senses tell me. Trying to understand the world from a limited view point.
Can I understand a box if i am not a box?

Satunus, are you saying you can think about your own thoughts with out using your thought process
The same thought process that maybe flawed
therefore to me it seems more rational to believe in God

Unless you have all knowledge I dont know how you can say that God didn't love the world. Do you know what he has saved you from? Can you judge God whilst not knowing all.
I dont think my knowledge of love is sufficient to judge whether God is showing love in what he allows

Satanus if God exists and the bible is to be believed aren't you judging God's righteousness through the eyes of the unrighteous and through a limited knowledge and understanding.
I think our thoughts are limited by the fact we cannot step out of our thoughts and examine them.

I dont think I can truly comprehend the universe expanding in a space with no boundaries and as far as my every day realities it has little or no meaning in the short space of my life it makes little difference to me. However I can think about it. Everything that I think about comes about through my five senses and infinity is something that my five senses don't give me much if any information about. I dont think I can prove that I'm not being imagined by a far superior mind than my own. I therefore question my own reality.
The Bible tells me Jesus is the Truth and to me to reason on him as that and taking me out of this "reality" where nothing seems truly real. Everything I do is in time and time can be endlessly divided to infinity so when did I do it. The past and the future are beyond my reach but the now is one or the other. God on the other hand exists in heaven a totally different existence. Beyond the confines of time and space.
That's how I see it.

I don't think the sisters have it any worse than the brothers. There are alot of dowdy looking sisters in the congregations.
